Three MORE Poems [Long author's note]

Three more poems. So proud of myself. I wrote these at, like, 8:00 a.m. because I was on a bus going somewhere with this group thing I'm in at school, so I had time to write and didn't have any classes today~. I realized why I write so many poems at one time: Either I'm in a writing mood, or not. If so, yay, things get done. If not, well....it sucks. But yes, three more poems. Now, I want to explain these ones, so this thing here will be kinda long. But anyway. The first poem is based on a drawing I did. Simple. The second poem is about global warming. I truly believe that this is a topic most people do not pay attention to, even though it is a big thing in our world. The polar icecaps are melting, and we aren't doing anything about it. The third poem is about a lonely wolf who is forced to live by itself and wander far from home because of deforestation and human industrialization. This is another topic I think we need to pay more attention to: the protection of endangered species. Anywho, read, enjoy.

I - Silent Oppression

An angel spreads her golden wings

Thinking only of wonderful things

The raw joy of flying high

So to the ground she says good-bye

Gripping hands suddenly appear

She tries to scream, but there is no one to hear

Dragging her down from the air

She struggles hard, but her restraints don’t care

The hands cover her mouth and eyes

Muffling the angels pleading cries

Fingers dig into her frightened soul

On her heart they tug and pull

Sobbing, yet unable to make a sound

The broken angel fades away on the ground

Of the cause of her death, there is no suggestion

Such is the curse of the silent oppression

II - Polar Hourglass

Dripping slowly at first

Becoming faster, and

Water droplets trickle down

Instead of the usual sand

An intricate golden hourglass

Set upon a pedestal so high

The ice is melting, animals dying

While humans just pass on by

Ignoring what could affect us

Most eyes skip right over the bad

But for the few who do care

The loss is overwhelmingly sad

Soon something has to be done

Before we drown in a sea of our mistakes

It’ll be too late to do anything

When the polar hourglass breaks

III - Wanderer

Through a deep green forest

Soft, secretive, and silent

A lone wolf wanders

Without a pack of others

No friend or family by its side

The lone wolf wanders

Slowly the forest is chopped away

By humans who just don’t care

Yet still the lone wolf wanders

Spring turns to summer

And summer turns to fall

While the lone wolf still wanders

Fall becomes winter

Cold, dark, and harsh

And on and on the lone wolf wanders

Through night and day

All alone, yet so strong

The lone wolf wanders
